Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel part of Priorslee's friendly and welcoming community.”
- “They describe positive relationships with staff, saying adults listen and offer help when needed.”
- “Older pupils demonstrate secure knowledge across the curriculum and achieve well.”
To improve
- “Learning in the rest of the school is variable.”
- “In contrast, some pupils do not secure basic writing skills or build knowledge in enough depth in wider curriculum subjects.”
- “This means pupils do not achieve as well as they should in some subjects and are not as well prepared as they could be for the next stage of learning.”
